I've looked for this series several times over the years, but could never find it. I read it in 1988 or 1989 when I was at summer camp. The only things I remember are there were ice ships that traveled across the word and there was a religious order that was clearly the bad guys in the story. I ...

I was playing LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga recently (don't judge me), and while doing the first level for A New Hope, there is a character you can play as named "Rebel Friend." He doesn't seem to be based on any existing character that I know of. My questions are who is he and where did he c...

I read a thin fantasy novel about a city, where many gods were worshipped, each god had some type of temple, and 1 night each year all the gods roamed the streets and you 'd better stay inside. I remember that a great frog-god hopped through the streets. Anybody know this book? Thanks

Period: 1960 - 1990 Main character: a man Clue: The main clue is that a group of humans live on the South Pole, called "The Girls". The interesting thing about them is that they live to a very old age or are immortal, because they choose to not age beyond puberty. So, basically, they're all pre-p...

In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we can see Jyn Erso getting a locket from her mother who says, Trust The Force. Here is the picture of that locket. She later uses it when they were about to pass through entry at Planet Scarif. What is this locket made of?

What was the name of a short story about aliens thinking cars are the dominant life form and the humans inside are their internal organs. Thi k it was in a science fiction omnibus

Watching many space fictions on tv and in films, the effect of moving through a starfield seems to be out of proportion. Given the vast distances between stars, wouldn't the stars be immobile? Instead of zooming past the ships like the classic screen saver? I con...

As the title says, which car was Tony Stark driving in the end of Iron Man 3? It looks like a high-end Lamborgini or something, but is it a real model or just made up for the movie to look futuristic? To clarify, the scene in question is exactly at the end of the movie when Tony goes to the ruin...

In Iron-Man 3, Tony is wearing a head-piece/ear-set and is constantly giving instructions to Jarvis. What is the range of this device? It obviously cannot operate via bluetooth (the range of that is <20m), so my guess is that it's probably based on some sort of 4G tech (or future version of tha...

Do we know if there is an upper limit on the range of a Stargate or given enough power (and a proper set of coordinates) one can reach anywhere? I remember a quote (probably by Sam) that the power grows exponentially by both the distance and the area of the horizon, but I don't remember any more ...

Surfing the Internet on Superman, you often come across the three "ages": The Golden Age, the Silver Age and the Bronze Age. Who originally came up with these ages and what were the reasons given for the choices?

I've been trying to track down the first novel that got me interested in sci-fi. It could not of been written any later than the 50s or 60s. It was about a comet that as it approached earth everything that was of metal started melting together. So first the cars stopped working and they had to us...

I read this book in my dad's collection at least ten years ago. I feel like the title had something to do with time, but I could be wrong. The cover has a brown bald head (you just see the back) approaching three young adults in what looks like a spaceship. In the book, the main character is Ca...

It's been thirty years or more since I saw this. To compound the problem I was like 10 and don't remember much at all. It was a mummy movie. All I can remember is a scene where someone was touched on the arm by this reincarnated mummy. He got this infection from where he was touched. He went to t...

Help me find a fanfic where Tris went sorta power-mad and started to call herself Stormbringer or something... and Nico had to talk her down... possibly from a cliff? It's not recent, it existed at... maybe around 2010? I tried Fanfiction.net, but I can't find it, although, I might just not be ...

I think this question can be objectively answered, considering the large amount of information we have on Klingon psychology, etc. To run in battle would seem to be completely without honor for any Klingon. Even against a superior opponent, like the Crystalline Entity. It seems impossible to me ...

What is the name of the TV episode from the 60's? in which a father is looking for two children lost in another dimension. I recall he has to imagine the folding of other dimensions in order to go there.
